Jarltech would then be the processor for the processing of the Customer's personal data; Jarltech, however, retains all rights, titles and interests in the personal information that Jarltech provides to the Customer, and will consider the Customer as a processor for the processing of Jarltech's personal Information in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions.
